About The Maker

The Bright Angle is a ceramic design studio based out of Asheville, North Carolina. The Bright Angle is run by lead designer Nick Moen, a master of ceramic design and craftsmanship. Designer Nick Moen first started working with clay at age 14 and has been pushing the envelope of ceramic design for over a decade. The Bright Angle has become a symbol of "new century modern" aesthetic with a firm understanding of materials and design. Each piece is made by hand in The Bright Angle workshop in the mountains of Western North Carolina, a craft epicenter.
The Bright Angle aesthetic draws from contemporary architecture and language of sound proportion and design. Every piece of art that is created is attended to with the utmost attention to detail. Currently our focus is on lighting with porcelain, which is made from a recipe of glass and white porcelain clay that parallels the glow of glass shades and is engineered to have an ambient glow that will bring joy to any atmosphere.
The Bright Angle sources wood, glass, and other materials from local artisans who share their commitment to American-made and thoughtfully-sourced raw goods. We embrace craft and technology to bring small-batch handmade goods to fruition through maker-designer collaboration. Our team is comprised of skilled craftspeople that are involved in every step of the process in design and production.
